Contextual Overview

7 The day of bread without yeast came. It was the day when the lamb had to be killed and given on the altar in worship in the house of God. It was the special religious gathering to remember how the Jews left Egypt. 8 Jesus sent Peter and John and said, "Go and get this special supper ready for us that we may eat." 9 They said to Him, "Where do You want us to get it ready?" 10 He answered, "See, when you go into the city, you will meet a man carrying a jar of water. Follow him into the house where he goes. 11 Say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks you, "Where is the room you keep for friends where I may eat this special supper with My followers?"' 12 He will take you to a large room on the second floor with everything in it. Make it ready for us." 13 They went and found everything as Jesus had said. They got ready for the special supper. 14 When the time came, Jesus sat down with the twelve followers. 15 He said to them, "I have wanted very much to eat this special supper with you to remember how the Jews left Egypt. I have wanted to eat this with you before I suffer. 16 I say to you, I will not eat this special supper again until its true meaning is completed in the holy nation of God."
